Hi, I have an old 4-drive WD ShareSpace that I'd like to get up and running again, but I can't reconfigure it.
When plugged in, it turns on automatically, but then it's as if it's frozen; it doesn't respond to any commands, even when I try to turn it off using the power button.
It's not recognized on the network; the modem doesn't assign it an IP address, even though the network LEDs flash as if data is being transferred.
If I connect it directly to my PC with a LAN cable, the PC gives it a strange IP address. If I try to connect to that IP address, I get no results. If I try to manually set an IP address, the same thing happens.
I tried inserting a hard drive into it, and when I insert the drive, the light on the front for that drive turns orange, indicating its presence, but still nothing works.
I tried resetting it using the button on the back, but nothing changes.
At this point, I assume it's a firmware issue, because it's as if it's just not able to execute the entire boot sequence.
What else can I do? Is there any special way to revive him?
Thanks in advance.
